Maple Sugar.

1t is generally supposed that all
the various grades of sugar and mo-
lasses are under the control of the
manufacturer, aside from the varying
season. Excepting this last condi-
ton, natural conditions are not rec
ognized because not understood.
There are sugar orchards from
which no one, not even an expert,
can make No. sugar. Again, there
are other orchards so situated that
even novice, with improved utensils,
can hardly fail to make a nice article.
More depends on the orchard than
the manufacturer. L will describe an
orchard from which a fine grade of
sugar can be made. 1t should be To-
Gated on elevated land, having a
strong and rocky soil, dry, with a
southeastern exposure, trees scatter
ing, free from underbrush and ever
green trees, so as to freely admit the
suns influence then if the trees are
second growth so much the better.
[ will now describe an orchard with
opposite conditions. Low in eleva-
ton, near a large body of water,
having a black, mucky and wet soil,
thick with old growth trees, in the
wilderness, full of underbrush and
scattered with evergreen trees. With
such an orchard no one can make fine
sugar.
Were | to select a tree from which
| could make sugar as white as snow,
| should take a second growth, stand
ing in or near very cold spring
coming out of dry land, with no 9TH
er trees near and having a southeast
ern exposure. All the above are nat
ural conditions.
Now, with the knowledge of the in
terlal makeup of the tree, | would
tap it with 3-8-inch bit through the
last years growth of wood, or about
one-fourth of an inch, directly after
a snowstorm and freeze, at the max
imum flow, using the Ohio improved
tin spout and a metallic buca ct hav-
ing a cover painted white, which will
keep out all the storms and reflect or
radiate the rays of the sun, keeping
the sap cool, which my experience
indicates is very important.
All ice formed in the buckets should
I be gathered and put into the store
tubs, and when there is none shovel
in clean snow, and when this fails
get ice from the ice-house, provided
it is clean. Sap should never be stor.
ed in the room where it is boiled SaE
should be gathered and boiled al
once directly to sugar, without stop
ping to strain, cool and settle, if ex,

The VanderbiltS.

Commodore Vanderbilt was large
ly indebted to his wife, says elbow
ard in one of his New York letters.
As matter of fact, in spite of the
old fellows grimness and reticence,
in spite of his dissemination to give
anybody any credit for anything, he
was fond of telling about his early
experiences when he ran a boat and
his wife kept bar. A man of Van
derbilt's proportions couldn't help sue
ceeding in this country, but in the
earlier days of his prosperity he was
not so reckless, not so independent,
not so careless of the opinion of 9th
ers, as he relied almost entirely, alb
solutely, | might say, upon the judg-
ment, the discretion, the quick intui-
tions of the woman whom he had
made his bride when a rough, rude
boy on Staten Island Flats.
The Vanderbilts are in the fourth
generation here. The old COmmo-
dore, the father of the race, a man
of immense mentality and tremendous
vitality; William H., his favorite
son, whose death, untimelv, prema-
ture, unnecessary, has never vet been
fairly and properly accounted for, a
man able literally TO double the enor-
nous fortune of 500, 000,0 left
him by his father; Cornelius and
William X, young men, bright men,
full of promise, strong in vitality.
with manly purposes, firm and not
obstinate, determined and not dog
matte, yielding readily to wise coun-
sci, and their children who are said
to be bright, vivacious, fond of study,
and likely to follow in the footsteps
of their father, their grandfather
and their great-grandfather l take
no stock in the common sneer of the
ahoCl blIoo do 81 POOPAC VI i0C0io CiS
alton. The boys of Cornelius and
William K. can go back beyond their
fathers to their father, land back again
to his father, and when they reach
the hearthstone of their great-grand-
father they find sitting there, not
alone the man whose vigorous intel
lect made him master of the North
River, carried him in later life as
commodore of a mighty fleet on the
pillows of the ocean itself, and again,
seeking new highways bound New
York and Albany together with an
iron rail, but the woman also at his
side whose aid, comfort, helpfulness
as of wise, discreet, faithful com
panion he always cheerfully achnowl-
edged.

argument for special session of Con-
gress to dispose of the surplus. But
the country at large has no desire to
see Congress meet again till the stated
time arrives. And the treasury will
probably get along with its plethora
in the future. as it has in the past.
The liquor dealers of New York
and Brooklyn are appealing frantic
ally to Gov. Hill to veto the Crosby
high-license bill. They have sent
counsel to plead their cause, and the
arguments presented are thus anus
ingly summarized by the Y. 7. Tfi6-
une:
a.. That high license would not
decrease the number of saloons ~
that it would drive out of the bust
ness one in five saloons (3) that 1t
would not diminish the amount of IL
uuor sold; az that it would deprive
the poor man of his liquor; (3) that
1t would not reduce the quantity sold :;
(6) that it would shut up and destroy
saloon property to the value of 3d.
900. 900 in Brooklyn alone. SO ac-
cording to their own statement the
liquor men object to the bill because
it will reduce the number of saloons,
and because it will not; because it
will reduce the consumption of liquor,
- I
can be enforced, and because it can
not; because it will not diminish
drunk enness, and because it will.
Since the oleomargarine law went
into effect the expectations Of this
product have largely increased. For
the three months of November, De-
cember and January in 1886 and
1867 the exports of Oleomargarine
were respectively 5,33O,919 pounds
for the first period and -, 146 ,22o
pounds fOl the second. If the law has
no other effect, it has at least pre-
vented the consumption here of
good many million pounds of fraudll-
lent butter, and substituted the gen
uine article in Its stead. Up to the
time when the law went into effect
the manufacturers took the naturally
braZen attitude of their class in de-
fving it, under the impression that it
could not be enforced. They had
scarcely diminished the manufacture
of their product, and the large expor
tations are probably only an indica-
ton, and a healthful one for legiti-
mate industry, that they can not work
off fraudulent butter on the American
people. If foreigners want this stuff
after it has paid its tax they are per-
fectlv welcome to take the entire
product. 1t will not be long, however,
before the fraudulent product will be
as we'll understood and as unpopular
abroad as it is here.

North Carolina, Louisiana, Mississ-
ippi, Florida, Alabama and Tennes-
see. But for the race prejudice eX-
listing, there would be no difficulty in
adding them to the republican col
umn. A southern col0red man is a
republican instinctively. Educate
him, and he becomes all the more
confirmed in his adherence. Where
the negroes are the more numerous
and the whites comparatively few,
there it is all democratic, strange to
say. We certainly ought to do some
thing to protect these people. | think
we will do so in the next presidential
campaign. Tennessee and North
Carolina naturally belong to us. We
ought to have them both. Protec-
ton is doing much for the republican
party in the South. The tendency of
the democratic party is in the direc-
ton of free trade. Every manufac-
turer is a natural protectionist. The
brains and the capital of the South
are getting away from the leaders on
this point.

The best that could be done, in
the last legislature, for the public
school system of our state, was to
pass a law, known as ''the Marsh
bill'' because drawn and introduced
by Mr.. Marsh of Woodstock, to re-
wise and redraft our school laws sin
such way as will best add to the eff
fciency and improve the public
schools" and to report by bill to the
next legislature. Gov. Ormsbee has
taken time and given thoughtful
care to the selection of the commits
sioners charged with this work. They
are eX-Congressman James NJ. Tyler
of BrattlebOro, President Ezra Brain
erd of Middlebury and Principal s.
w. Landon of Burlington. This is
an excellent board, comprising eXpe-
rience as educators and Legislators,
high intelligence and ability, and
sound practical judgment and
there is every reason to expect from
it some valuable public service in the
line of the responsible duty commit
ted to it. The commissioners met
the governor in Rutland Tuesday
and arranged for a thorough investi-
cation of the working of our present
school laws, and of the systems il
most successful use in other states
After pursuing individual inquiries
they will meet again in June and lay
out their work.

Lathers' Union, the Carpenters and
Joiners' Association and the Stone
Masons' Union, all of Brooklyn, went
on a strike. These Unions have a
membership of 5000 men. They
have quit work, hoping thereby to
force the boss farmers to accede to
the demands of their men for higher
pay.
The Executive Committee of the
Farmers Union to-day telegraphed to
the Executive Board of the Trainers
National Association at Baltimore,
asking permission to call out all franz

The last wrinkle about the inter
state commerce law that it is to pro-
tect the colored men of the South
who ride on railroads. One section
of it enacts that it shall be unlawful
''to subject any particular person,
company, firm, corporation or local
ity, or any particular description OF
traffic, to any undue or unreasonable
prejudice or disadvantage in any re-
spect whatsoever" This would seem
to be fully broad enough to cover the
case of the. negro. 1t really looks
as if Mr.. Beck and other Southern
senators who labored so earnestly
for this bill had unwittingly succeed
ed in achieving what Charles Sum
ner, striving more directly to that
end, failed in twenty years earlier

The people of Chicago won great
victory on Tuesday in the election of
the republican candidate for mayor
by nearly 10000 majority. 1t was
an .astonisher'' to the socialists, .
and really no party triumph beyond
the fact that the republicans put for
ward a man who stood for good gov
eminent, and ON this account thous-
ands of the best elements in the dem
ocratic party gave him their votes.
1t is a healthy triumph, to be regard
ed independent of party, and well
calculated to add faith to popular
government by the people. 1t ought
also to be a lesson to the disturbing
element which desires chaos rather
than peace and order, and that they
will not be allowed to concentrate il
in and take possession of an Ameri-
can city.

keeper refused to admit a delegation

people at Birmingham, of all shades

other points in the South, as at Nash
vile, colored men called ON the sena-
tor without hindrance or objection.

rial prosperity which has grown up
in the South. As regards politics he

Gratis to complain that republican Of

SAYS he has given the subject consid-
cradle attention, and he finds that
nearly all of the republican postmas-

of nearly all of the other branches of
